Need payment processing for your collection agency merchant account?
PayKings has rates that won't break the bank and solutions in place for your Debt Collection agency merchant account
Collection Agency Merchant Account
A collection agency merchant account is essential to process payments in this unique industry. The debt collection agency industry is one that grossed over $10.4 billion in 2013, domestically, collecting $55.2 billion in acquired debt, and these numbers just continue to grow with every passing year (approximately 15% each year since). And with the average American household having reportedly $130,000 in debt, it’s clear why the debt collection business is such a profitable one.
PayKings pride themselves on being the go-to processing company for debt collection agency merchant accounts and merchant account services for collection agencies within this industry, including:
- Debt collection agencies
- Debt buyers
- Debt purchasers in the healthcare, commercial, and attorney spectrum
- Corporate collection and retail departments
While this industry is one that shows its worth in the numbers, collection agency credit card processing is considered high risk due to a few particulars in the industry. A business is considered high risk for a variety of reasons, but the biggest drawbacks for these merchants is in having a difficult time finding a reliable processing partner.
Luckily, PayKings specialize in working with high risk merchants and we have multiple acquiring banking partners that offer debt collection merchant accounts.
Debt Collection Merchant Account
Opening a debt collection merchant account doesn’t have to be an impossible task. The likelihood of obtaining payment processing for collection agency businesses increases substantially if you seek out collection agency merchant services with a company who specializes in providing high risk merchant accounts. If you’ve applied for collection agency credit card processing to get a collection agency merchant account before, you have likely been told that the person responsible for whether or not you get approved, and with what conditions (e.g. rolling reserve, financing delay, transaction caps, monthly caps, etc.) will be based on the individual underwriter assessing your account. And that is generally true, therefore it is important to understand exactly what this decision maker is searching for.Merchant Services for Debt Collection
Your company’s chargeback ratio is the total count of chargebacks in a month divided by the total amount of sales transactions in the month.
Be aware the number is not calculated by the number of chargebacks you might have lost, won, fought or didn’t fight. The relevant number is in exactly how many of your customers called their issuing bank and initiated a chargeback. That’s it. You can’t “win” enough chargebacks to decrease the ratio, because the number of wins doesn’t go into the calculation.
Therefore, if your debt collections merchant account has 100 sales transactions in a month and four customers in that exact same month call their issuing bank to initiate a chargeback, you’ve got a 4% chargeback ratio for that month – regardless of whether those clients were right, wrong, or otherwise.Collections Credit Card Processing
